🤔🤔 is annihilationism potentially dangerous regarding evangelism ❓❓

is annihilationism potentially dangerous when it comes to evangelizing the lost and preaching the gospel to them? Yes, I believe it is. If an unbeliever is told that the worst that could happen to him after he dies is nonexistence, then that can lessen the urgency for him to be saved from God’s righteous judgment and receive Jesus. I know this is the case because I’ve talked to many atheists in the presence of universalists who like annihilationists teach there is no eternal conscious torment in the afterlife. Routinely, atheists would state that if they’re not going to face punishment in the afterlife, why worry about salvation in this life ❓❓
The conditionals could say that the sword cuts both ways ⚔️. Yes, it does. However, when we look at the preaching of Jesus, we find out that he certainly did not teach universalism and he did warn people about the fires of hell.
Matthew 5:29–30, “If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 If your right-hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell.”
Matthew 13:40–42, “So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 41 “The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, 42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Matthew 18:8, “If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.”
Matthew 25:41, “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels”See also Mark 9:43-48; John 15:6
Jesus repeatedly warned people about the dire consequences of hell in the afterlife. He said it was better to lose body parts than enter whole into the unquenchable fire (Matt. 5:29-30; 18:8-9; Mark 9:43-48). Jesus gives the parable of the unrighteous steward who was squandering his master’s possessions. When discovered, the steward sought to make sure he would be okay in the future. So, before he was removed from his position, he quickly went to the debtors and told them to pay less than their total debts in order to settle everything. This, of course, would please the debtors and ingratiate the unrighteous steward in their eyes. This way he would be welcomed in their homes later on. Jesus then said in verse 9, “…make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.”
🙂💯👍👉👉S o, Jesus was warning people about the afterlife which is why he mentioned “eternal dwellings.” Later in the same chapter (Luke 16:19-31), Jesus spoke of Lazarus, and the rich man and how they both died and one was in torment in the afterlife. In these two accounts, Jesus was urging people to make sure they do not enter into the fire. Nonexistence is not fire. It is neither safe nor unsafe. It is simply nothing. What is to fear in nothingness ❓❓ It is the same as before you were born
👉👉 I don’t believe annihilationists will admit that this is a potential problem because it would reveal a weakness in their position. Nevertheless, I believe there is an inherent danger the annihilationism (conditional immortality) when it comes to reaching the lost. Not only does it deny Scripture, but it also goes against the warning of Christ, and weakens the necessity of believing in Christ now.
2 Corinthians 6:2, “for He says, ‘AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU.’ Behold, now is ‘THE ACCEPTABLE TIME,’ behold, now is ‘THE DAY OF SALVATION.’”
💡💡 PS please think about this if everlasting torment wasn't true then why did Jesus preach about it ❓❓
Matthew 25:46, “These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Real quick here readers in exposing once again CULTISTrsvp FALSE teachings about the one day made judgment 'lake of fire' but I will have more another day!
The Father's WORD made flesh - QUOTE of CULTISTrsvp - 'then said in verse 9, “…make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the >>>eternal dwellings<<<.”
CULTISTrsvp goes on to comment in his own words - QUOTE - 'So, Jesus was warning people about the afterlife which is why he mentioned “eternal dwellings.”
REALLY???????????
Now readers, CULTISTrsvp wants you to believe that there are >>>TWO<<< FOR EVER “eternal dwellings.” as far as 'eternal life' is concerned, one in a place/dwelling in a one day made, the 'lake of fire' which takes place outside the Holy City (Revelation 20:9!) for continual sinners, the unrighteous. The other for NON SINNERS, the righteous that have 'eternal life' and their place/dwelling of course is inside the safety of the Holy City (Revelation 20:9!) away from the flames! Correct??? Revelation 20:9 is where the judgment FIRE takes place outside the Holy City, right? Lets look at what Isaiah says about that 'dwelling place' and who 'dwells' there come judgment day, as well as what kind of judgment FIRE will be made there! OK?
Judgment fire made someday - Isaiah 33:14 'The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. >>>Who among us shall dwell (have everlasting life) with the devouring fire<<<? Who among us shall dwell (stay alive) with >>>everlasting burnings<<<?
The Bible is clear that the JUDGMENT fire will totally DEVOUR its sinners, right? When a person DEVOURS a sandwich, does it exist afterward? So its DEATH that is EVERLASTING in that DEVOURING FIRE! Right? Or the BURNINGS are EVERLASTING in that DEVOURING FIRE unto ASHES, right?
How about another Biblical witness?
Malachi 4:1,3
1. 'For, behold, the day cometh, that shall >>>burn as an oven<<<; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall >>>burn them up<<<, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall >>>leave them neither root nor branch<<<.'
3. 'And ye shall >>>tread down the wicked<<<; for they shall be >>>ashes<<< under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
Lets look at what happens to satan now and his angels come judgment day, OK?
Ezekiel 28:18 'Thou (satan the covering cherub/angel verse 16) hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I >>>bring forth a fire from the midst of thee<<<, it shall >>>devour thee<<<, and I will >>>bring thee to ashes<<< upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee!'
So once again satan is DEVOURED by the Judgment FIRE and not only that but the BIBLE IN ITS CONTEXT makes it PERFECTLY CLEAR that satan WILL BE reduced to >>>ASHES<<< also, just like his continual sinning humans that follow him!!!
So readers why does CULTISTrsvp take Scripture out of CONTEXT in its CLEAR teaching like Romans 6:23 with the above verses???
Correct??? Revelation 20:9 is where the judgment FIRE takes place outside the Holy City, right? 
Lets look at what Isaiah says about that 'dwelling place' and who 'dwells' there come judgment day, as well as what kind of judgment FIRE will be made there! OK?
